Background
Coillte is running a two‑stage procurement for the provision of services at its nurseries. In the first stage, applicants must demonstrate organisational capacity, sector knowledge, and relevant past experience to meet the pre‑qualification criteria. Those scoring at least 60% in each qualitative section will be shortlisted. In the second (tender) stage, shortlisted applicants will receive detailed technical specifications and draft contracts and will be required to submit formal tenders. The Contracting Authority emphasises that the indicative spend figures are for information only and do not commit Coillte to any minimum expenditure over the contract term.
What this involves
The scope of work is to provide services at Coillte Nurseries under a framework‑type arrangement, with the detail of the services, locations, and volumes to be set out in the draft contract and technical specifications that will be issued to shortlisted applicants at the tender stage. The successful tenderer will be required to deliver services in line with Coillte’s operational requirements, statutory standards, and any Irish‑language signage obligations, and to comply with tax, insurance, and employee‑rights‑transfer requirements as set out in the documentation.
